Another MSFS sim pilot, I fly the caravan a lot in sim, so it was really nice to find a great, informative, and well presented video about the real thing :) Thank you
Kaitlynn, I’m so glad you enjoyed the review! I haven’t flown the plane on MSFS, but have heard from several people that the Caravan is one of their favorites to fly on the sim. I’m looking forward to trying it virtually now!
1st time viewer. New subscriber. I want to fly Caravans and Grand Caravans as a 'career 2.0'. My (hockey) boys are all young men now. Time to pursuit a life-long passion while introducing my three sons to the world of aviation and aviators (like you)! What a great video! Continued success from 🇨🇦.
Exploring the backcountry of Idaho with the Caravan sounds like an amazing adventure! The Caravan's versatility and reliability make it a great choice for such journeys, especially in rugged wilderness areas like the Frank Church Wilderness. Indian Creek USFS airstrip must have provided a thrilling experience, highlighting the aircraft's capability to operate in diverse environments. Thanks for sharing ✈🌲🏞
Loved the review, background music not so much (no big deal), the review is THE most important part. You do need that cargo pod, it keeps everything out of the way especially the TKS system. I fell in love with the GC years ago, but can't find one in my price range. I'm even thinking of finding one that needs a total overhaul and rebuild myself.
I've had three trips aboard the Grand Caravan, my last one being in the 'spare front seat'. It's a lovely aircraft. I reckon I'll take another trip in the Grand Caravan soon. Try a trip aboard a real one. You'll love it.
We use a Caravan on floats to get to our fishing spot in Ontario. It's a sweet ride, indeed. We also have a DeHaviland Otter available to us. And, Beavers, 185, 172, Super Cub, and more. The Caravan is easily the most advanced and comfortable aircraft in the fleet.
Caravan is a popular jump plane. She climbs like a beast! The background music while not offensive could be dialed down a bit, but otherwise this is a high quality review video. Well done man!
Thanks man - that seems to be the consensus about this sound track 😂. I have not had the opportunity to fly a Texas Turbines modded Caravan yet, popular with jump zones. Looking forward to that someday 🤙🏻
I've thought it over and I'm going with a T182 for now, then stepping up to a 208 Grand Caravan set up for camping out of. And then of course a set of amphibs for it. Of course all this is happening post Powerball win. 750 hrs in 150's, 172's, etc. I'm ready to move on...
Aerial survey in a 2020 Caravan 675, we have a 5 to 5.5 hr endurance. I run around 1200 lbs of torque and get the fuel flow down to around 260 pph. It's a joy to operate. People always tell me it's a C172 on steroids, I tell them it's much better than that and easier to fly.
@spatialguy5571 The odds say that you’re more likely to die in a twin than a single at this level of flying. In a twin you’re more than twice as likely to have an engine failure, and when you do there’s no requirement that it stay airborne (I fly a King Air 350 which is just at the weight and passenger capacity to require balanced field conditions and segmented climbs), and even still.. mishandling of the aircraft will result in a fatal Vmc roll. and there are a lot of equalizers that will result in both engines failing (running out of fuel, misfuelling, bird strike, volcanic ash, incorrect maintenance done on all engines, and shutting down the wrong engine) and now you have a plane that is much heavier with a higher stall and landing speed than a single engine plane. Let’s also not forget how many twins have crashed with both engines running. No.. I fly this plane, and a King Air.. and I don’t feel safer in one vs the other. Over water might be a different story.. but for most missions a forced landing would be survivable with the Caravan’s low speeds and docile handling.. and it can glide a long way with the prop feathered.
I'd love to fly a Caravan one day, unfortunately they aren't really in common use here in the UK. I love the idea of backcountry flying and recognise those fields. Maybe one day I can get rated and take a flying holiday in Idaho 😅
@@TurbinesandTailwheels Rnavs on most of airports, ILS on more busy or weather restricted ones, and just a few are VOR only. I would say RNAV have taken the country by storm since 10 years ago.
Please when flying the grand caravan on gravel. rock the elevator as you bring up the power as you start trying to taxi. I guarantee you will save the prop many rock strikes. Try it, it will make a big difference.
You left out one very important feature. How easy it is to work on. I used to service Caravans for Fedex and UPS Operators and it was my favorite plane of all to inspect or fix.
Now that is a good point. I suppose the basic nature of the aircraft design and its size lend it to serviceability. I've never worked on one as an A&P, so I don't have first hand knowledge.
@@TurbinesandTailwheels I can't think of anything other than a few spots on the engine are a bit difficult to access. Keep in mind the Caravan was designed with input from operators. They needed a reliable plane with a very high dispatch reliability rate and Cessna built them one. I hope their new twin was put together with the same philosophy. Since I worked for an FBO where two were based during the daytime, we took care of any write ups which mostly were tires and brakes but once in a while we did 100 hour inspections where we downloaded data and sent it to the home base. One memorable thing was the instrument panel slid out on rails after taking a few screws out. Easy. You had to watch your fingers on the front ladders though.
It probably makes it worse due to the fact it’s pushing the plane left. The reason it’s on the right is so that the pod doors can be on the left and easily accessibleby the pilot without them getting soot on or through them.
Pedro, high altitude does effect blood oxygen saturation. The FAA provide strict guidelines for pilots with regard to supplemental oxygen for themselves and for passengers. Rules for private operations are less stringent than for commercially operated aircraft. For example, pilots of private aircraft must use supplemental oxygen after 30 minutes above 12,500' MSL, and at any time above 14,000' MSL. For pilots of commercially operated aircraft, those altitudes are much lower.
Randy, thank you. There are a few ideas to consider between the 3 & 4 bladed props, but ultimately the biggest treason they now come from the factory with the McCauley 4 blade is that Textron purchased McCauley, so continuing to install the Hartzell 3 blade was feeding a competitor. In terms of performance, there is very little difference. The three bladed has slightly better stopping performance. The four bladed has a smaller diameter therefore slower tip speeds resulting in slightly reduced noise and vibration. Some operators in Alaska and similar rough environments like the three blade because the blades are wider so there is more material to absorb nicks and damage repairs. Others like the 4 blade better because it is lighter weight, has a longer overhaul period, and a better warranty. And sometimes it just comes down to personal preference and looks.
Mark, I agree - it's a great airplane! Funny you should mention wheel pants: Raisbeck Engineering is in the process of certifying (via STC) nose speed fairings, aft body strakes, and wheel pants. I was able to fly their experimental Grand Caravan with the speed fairing and aft body strakes recently and plan to publish an article later this week about the results. The wheel pants weren't far enough along in their development for me to fly those, so I don't have flight data there. Definitely will have speed improvements, or fuel savings. However, for rough strips many operators like the AeroTwin gravel deflectors, which will not be compatible with the wheel pants.
In my experience on a plethora of light aircraft, the wheel pants aren’t worth the effort. And in the Caravan EX, neither is it to climb above 13,000 and have to deal with oxygen and cold and having to plan a half hour descent so we don’t blow our ear drums. She’s a solid 170 knot bird. More than good enough for me.
Good point Markus. The number noted for Grand Caravans did not include the number of Grand Caravan “EX” units: approximately 580 more planes. There are between 1500-1600 legacy 208Bs in operation.
Negative. That would be the DHC- 2 Beaver. The Caravan is still an outstanding and versatile aircraft and I reckon with upgrades it will be around a very long time.
Absolutely! Over 100 serving the communities of Alaska, connecting remote villages with the rest of the state and providing essential services. Such a great workhorse.

The Caravan and Grand Caravan are excellent for flying around the country solvin' mysteries, you can fit a ton of llamas in there too.
My favorite plane hands down. My dream career is to fly one of these.
I want this plane. I'm in love

This plane got me into a career in aviation. Gave up the bush pilot dream years ago. Still love the plane though.
I flew the GC for a 135 operation years ago flying out to Cape Cod and the islands. Best airplane available for the short haul commuter mission.

This is better than a PC-12. Much more versatile.
Expected a review of the msfs caravan but got one of the real caravan instead! :) seems like a good one for camping trips ;)
Glad you enjoyed it. Yep, this would be the ultimate for backcountry camping 👍🏼
A lot of thought went into safety on this plane. Impressive.
Apart from another engine you mean 😊
@@SpatialGuy77 When the first engine fails the second takes you to the scene of the crash :)

You copped out of the plane's worse feature, the speed. Is it certified for bird strikes.........from the rear ?
I think there's an STC to add reinforcements to the trailing edge for that; can't remember who owns it... AeroTwin maybe? HAHAHA
In all seriousness though, the Grand Caravan EX is THE FASTEST amphibian/float plane you’ll find.
No, in South America we don't use NDBs as primary navaids anymore. In fact, they are almost down to zero stations here. Thanks for the video.
I’ve recently learned that Rafael. Good info. Are RNAV approaches the most common there in South America? Or other land based Navaids?

Isn’t it though? I agree!
Great Review.
Thank you!!
Thank you sir, an excellent video most enjoyable
After I saw the video of the passenger land one after pilot conked out, I want one!
I’m curious - does running full exhaust down the right side provide any damping against P Factor on takeoff?
It probably makes it worse due to the fact it’s pushing the plane left.
The reason it’s on the right is so that the pod doors can be on the left and easily accessibleby the pilot without them getting soot on or through them.
I can't wait!!!👍👍

I won't let anyone talk *emirates* about this beautiful plane
Compare w/ a Kodiak
Yes James! I agree and plan to do that comparison in the near future. 👍🏻
I just want a 6 - 8 seater that also has a bathroom.
Grand Caravan can easily have six very comfortable seats, along with a lav in the back (albeit only with a privacy curtain).

Oh the keypad would be a sweet upgrade! I do not think Cessna has any plans to add that to the type design in the near future unfortunately.
